Last week, “Hard Knocks” flipped us off Manziel-style by starting the episode with Marquis Spruill’s ACL surgery. “Don’t think this season is interesting? Here, watch ligaments getting ripped apart from inside the knee!”

The Falcons played the Titans on Saturday, so we’ll get footage from that. Just what this season needs to drum much excitement: more Tennessee Titans appearances. The deadline for trimming NFL rosters to 75 players was this afternoon, so we’ll likely see a few players coldly having their dreams eradicated.

I have a fantasy draft this evening that might overlap with the start of this episode. Watching it while trying to decide on a kicker and team defense is about the amount of attention this season deserves.

DAMN. 24 fucking comments. This show is boring, yet I can’t stop watching it.
Why?
I dunno. They have good editors. Nice music, good cuts, etc.
Also, guys getting cut is just too compelling.
That white rookie LB was all professional about improving and getting a chance and such, and then watching him bent over and trying to gather himself before walking inside his apartment and telling his people was just too much.

He’s such a twat. And you can’t wear jeans and an untucked shirt to cut a guy — that’s just disrespectful. “Hey I’m firing you and killing your dream, and I couldn’t even be bothered to dress like a professional to do it.”

The special teams coach going full Singletary on his unit was the most interesting thing that happened this season and it was still less interesting than the least interesting thing that happened during the Jets season.
